PBH,
Ok, enough is enough. I have my opinion and you have yours. I have attended several RAC meetings since they began and in my opinion they are pointless. I have never witnessed any public comments from individuals make it to the wildlife board. In my opinion, you have to start with wildlife organizations first to get your point across. Prime example, Sportsman for Wildlife. It's all about numbers and money. One individual saying something doesn't mean diddle. The big wigs have already made decisions before those meetings ever take place. They were suppose to be for public input but they are far from that. The public individual can stand up and make a good point everyone starts clapping and cheering but there is never any changes. I know because I've been one of those individuals who have stood up and received the cheers. Just my observation. By the way, Baker Reservoir used to be the best sleeper fishery in the state for big browns. I've personally fished it quite often over the years and have landed a 9 pounder on a fly rod. It's always been for a fisherman with alot of patience because it's not lightning fast. I have made several fishless or biteless trips to that lake over the years. Good fishing to you and stay passionate about our wildlife.
